Time-tested practices - not the latest teaching trends
As stated by the title of an old pamphlet published by The Center for Education Reform, "Great Schools Are Made, Not Born". This is definitely true for Thomas Edison Charter Schools!

A vast amount of time, effort, and sacrifice contributed to the creation of our exceptional school.
Dr. Glenn Latham, a renowned researcher and former professor at Utah State University, developed philosophies and practices relating to creating an environment in which students will most likely succeed.
Revolving around the five principles of human behavior, Latham purports that students are most likely to succeed in a positive, safe, and structured environment.

Our emphasis is on education - not the latest clothing and social media trends. We have a consistent and enforced dress code. We eliminate distractions. Students don't use cell phones, smart watches, or personal devices during the school day.
We protect instructional time by limiting intercom announcements and preventing classroom interruptions. We maximize learning time by holding a limited number of assemblies. Most assemblies are patriotic and learning-based.
We use time-tested, researched-based approaches. We know who we are and how to help students succeed.
Our dress code was established to help ensure an atmosphere that fosters learning and to prevent drawing attention to self. Student dress and grooming is an observable difference at Thomas Edison Charter School.
The Spalding Method is a called "a total language arts" approach to reading because it provides explicit, sequential, multi-sensory instruction in spelling (including phonics and penmanship), composition, and listening/reading comprehension.
The program begins in kindergarten by teaching students early phoneme awareness, as well as proper penmanship, writing posture, and early reading.
